I think it is a good thing but I will wait a few years to get my water cooled HD. I think this water cooled thing is too new, plus my 2010 flhtk runs awesome and I have her dialed right in. I also have a 04 road king which is a project bike, so I cant afford it. I am slowly going to make the Road King into something special. Who knows, maybe in a few years I will get another but for right now I am happy, not to say that I would not love me a CVO, but that is a dream for now. I did not post to the poll cause I do want one but not now.

It's going to take a little fine tuning before the benefits are fully realized. I would expect cooler exhaust gas temperatures (and fewer complaints of hot legs and feet by our passengers), and a quieter valve train. Potentially higher performance, by running higher compression without overheating the top end should follow as we learn more about these heads.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a set of heads so that I can start figuring out how to best retrofit the technology onto the older bikes

If MOCO does it right I want the newest and greatest they got, I don't look at the bike as a collector item. 'm not getting rid of my bike anytime soon, I have no complaints about my Limited. But given the choice at no extra cost to me I'd take the features on the 2014 Limited like the twin cooling.

I would go with the liquid cooling. Given my home area is southern Florida, the advantages of the liquid cooling down here are obvious. I think Harley has gotten a good start on adapting the technology over to the bikes.
I still would like to see a full water jacket V-twin engine from Harley. The Honda VTX engines were bullet-proof and had the same sound (to the point Harley tried to sue them over the sound). I am sure that Harley could do as well if not better than Honda did with the engine.
And, yes, I am a former VTX driver (10 years) and currently a very happy 2010 Ultra owner.
